Summary

"Élie Mastanapéo leaves prison after having served his sentence for the murder of his father, an alcoholic and violent man. The Innu community of Nutashkuan, where he is from, banned him. He landed in Montreal and very quickly found himself in the street. There he will meet natives of other nations, Inuit, Cree, Atikamekw, who came like him to run aground in the city. He will make decisive encounters that will help him rehabilitate himself. Tiohtiá:ke is also the reality of all these natives who come together in the cities to reform the community they have lost. At the end of the day, sometimes the only chance to get out of this is in attachment to values greater than yourself." --
"Élie Mastanapéo sort de prison après avoir purgé sa peine pour le meurtre de son père, un homme alcoolique et violent. La communauté innue de Nutashkuan, dont il est originaire, l'a banni. Il débarque à Montréal et se retrouve très vite dans la rue. Il y croisera des autochtones d'autres nations, Inuit, Cris, Atikamekw, venus comme lui s'échouer dans la métropole. Il fera des rencontres déterminantes qui l'aideront à se reconstruire. Tiohtiá:ke, c'est aussi la réalité de tous ces autochtones qui se regroupent dans les villes pour reformer la communauté qu'ils ont perdue. En fin de compte, la seule chance de s'en sortir réside parfois dans l'attachement à des valeurs plus grandes que soi."--
